SFH617A

Vishay Semiconductors

DESCRIPTION

The 110 °C rated SFH617A (DIP) feature a high current

transfer ratio, low coupling capacitance and high isolation

voltage. These couplers have a GaAs infrared diode emitter,

which is optically coupled to a silicon planar phototransistor

detector, and is incorporated in a plastic DIP-4 package.

The coupling devices are designed for signal transmission

between two electrically separated circuits.

The couplers are end-stackable with 2.54 mm spacing.

Creepage and clearance distances of > 8.0 mm are achieved

with option 6. This version complies with IEC 60950

(DIN VDE 0805) for reinforced insulation up to an operation

voltage of 400 VRMS or DC. Specifications subject to change.

FEATURES

• Operating temperature from - 55 °C to + 110 °C

• Good CTR linearity depending on forward

current

• Isolation test voltage, 5300 VRMS

• High collector emitter voltage, VCEO = 70 V

• Low saturation voltage

• Fast switching times

• Low CTR degradation

• Temperature stable

• Low coupling capacitance

• End stackable, 0.100" (2.54 mm) spacing

• High common mode interference immunity

• Lead (Pb)-free component

• Component in accordance to RoHS 2002/95/EC and

WEEE 2002/96/EC

APPLICATIONS

• AC adapter

•SMPS

•PLC

• Factory automation

• Game consoles

AGENCY APPROVALS

• UL1577, file no. E52744 system code H or J, double

protection

• CSA 93751

• DIN EN 60747-5-5 (VDE 0884) available with option 1

• BSI IEC 60950; IEC 60065

OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCES POLICY STATEMENT

It is the policy of Vishay Semiconductor GmbH to

1. Meet all present and future national and international statutory requirements.

2. Regularly and continuously improve the performance of our products, processes, distribution and operating systems with

respect to their impact on the health and safety of our employees and the public, as well as their impact on the environment.

It is particular concern to control or eliminate releases of those substances into the atmosphere which are known as ozone

depleting substances (ODSs).

The Montreal Protocol (1987) and its London Amendments (1990) intend to severely restrict the use of ODSs and forbid their use

within the next ten years. Various national and international initiatives are pressing for an earlier ban on these substances.

Vishay Semiconductor GmbH has been able to use its policy of continuous improvements to eliminate the use of ODSs listed in

the following documents.

1. Annex A, B and list of transitional substances of the Montreal Protocol and the London Amendments respectively.

2. Class I and II ozone depleting substances in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 by the Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA) in the USA.

3. Council Decision 88/540/EEC and 91/690/EEC Annex A, B and C (transitional substances) respectively.

Vishay Semiconductor GmbH can certify that our semiconductors are not manufactured with ozone depleting substances and do

not contain such substances.

We reserve the right to make changes to improve technical design

and may do so without further notice.

Parameters can vary in different applications. All operating parameters must be validated for each customer application by the

customer. Should the buyer use Vishay Semiconductors products for any unintended or unauthorized application, the buyer shall

indemnify Vishay Semiconductors against all claims, costs, damages, and expenses, arising out of, directly or indirectly, any

claim of personal damage, injury or death associated with such unintended or unauthorized use.
